GAS-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 28,709, dated June 12, 1860.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WENDELL Vnrcrrr, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented a new Self-Adjustable Gas Burner or Meter toRegulate the Quantity of Gas Escaping from the Burner to the Flame; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the construction and operation of the same, referencebeing had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, inwhich Figure 1 is a longitudinal section showing the partition plate A,dividing the chamber of the burner which is round and about one inchlong and half of one inch in diameter more or less, into two parts, alsoshowing the slit F through which all the gas passes to the flame, alsoshowing the swinging valve B with the piston rod C connected therewith.Fig. 2 is another longitudinal sect-ion at right angles with Fig, 1.Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the upper end of the partition plate Ashowing the gas-way D. Fig. 4 is a transverse section of the lower endof the partition plate A showing the gas-way through which the pistonrod plays.

The same letters have reference to the same parts in all the differentfigures.

The gas passes up through E, through F, through D, and out through thetips of the burner to the flame. As the gas passes up around the pistonhead C it lifts it up moves the swinging or slide valve B over the slitF reducing its size, checking the current around the piston head Cproducing a uniform current of gas to the flame.

WVliat I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent isThe partition plate A in combination with the piston C and valve B asherein described, and for the purposes specified.

VVENDELL WRIGHT.
